Five clubs of the English Premier League voted against closing the summer transfer window before the start of the season.

Premier League clubs held a vote, which resulted in the decision to close the summer transfer window before the first match of the season.

Nevertheless, this decision was not unanimous.

According to the Guardian, this idea was supported by 14 clubs, and against voted representatives of Manchester United, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Watford and Swansea.

The only club that abstained from voting was Burnley.

The decision means that next summer the transfer window in the English Premier League will not close on August 31, but on August 9.

Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta urged all European leagues to follow the example of the Premier League.
